According to Hanteo Chart, Korea's largest album sales statistics site, the initial sales (album sales for one week after release) of Ive's new album 'I'VE MINE', released on the 13th, were 1,605,948 copies.
As a result, Ive has once again sold more than 1 million copies following his third single album 'After LIKE' released last year and his first full-length album 'I've IVE' released in April. Just two years after debut, they have their third ‘million-seller’ album.
In particular, it showed significant results, exceeding the record of 1.1 million copies sold in the first week of the previous full-length album, 'I Have Ive', in just 4 days of release, confirming the still hot interest in Ive.
In addition to the album's performance, on the main charts of major domestic music sites, all three triple title songs 'Baddie', 'Off The Record', and 'Either Way' recorded a steady upward trend and ranked high. It is maintaining its power, and it is showing its potential by dominating many other overseas charts as well.
With the new album 'Ive Mine', Ive is targeting listeners' tastes by presenting a variety of images of 'himself' seen from various perspectives. Attention is being paid to what kind of variations Ive, who has developed an image of infinite expansion by flexibly alternating between unique colors and unconventional changes, will capture the hearts of the global fandom in the future.
Meanwhile, Ive plans to meet fans through various contents, including music broadcast activities.
